This introduction crystalized a lot of the subject/debates around that time to me: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/13108434.pdf

baxrobon The Meme Machine (1999)

"These are all examples of groups of memes that are replicated together. Dawkins calls such groups ‘coadapted meme complexes’, a phrase recently abbreviated to ‘memeplexes’ (Speel 1995). Memetic jargon is changing so fast and much of it is so poorly thought out and so misused that I shall try to avoid using it. However, ‘memeplex’ is a handy word for an important concept and so it is one of the few new words I shall adopt." -- page 35

baxrobon Tauri – toolchain for building secure native apps that have tiny binaries

I've been following the webview project for a few months. It works for me to avoid Electron, and is pretty interesting on the whole I think

baxrobon Tauri – toolchain for building secure native apps that have tiny binaries

It looks like they've moved things around, but as I understand it the Rust bindings C/C++ code is derived from https://github.com/webview/webview/ which uses WebKitGTK

I haven't tried tauri itself, but both it and neutralino use the underlying "webview" C library https://github.com/webview/webview/tree/0.1.1
